Sorry, that is not correct. There are 30 valid siteswaps with period two (I juggling lab’d it), out of a possible 100. The formula gives 50% (2/4).

The reason it is not correct is because it doesn’t take into account the need of only whole values for balls. That is, it contains patterns which are valid for x.y balls. I’m not quite sure how to fix it, though.

i don’t say it is always correct. this is the case when every number is equally possible - not every digit. This is the same as the case, when you can only pick up numbers beetween 0..n-1, where n is the length of a siteswap. and every such zumber is equally probable.

however There are 50 valid siteswaps with period two (I juggling lab’d it), out of a possible 100. (in a case i was talking about there are 4 possible siteswaps(00, 01, 10, 11)and only tow of them are correct)

xy - where x and y are both odd or both even is a siteswap. exactly 50% of two digit strings are siteswaps.
